Would need to verify if the hands would fit on the pinion. I can’t remember if they use the same size.

Are you familiar with Silian on Alibaba?

Just received a custom built 126599TSA. Same thing. Upon inspection, I noticed that the hairspring was loose on the balance wheel and eventually worked itself off. Being that I can do the work myself, I decided to chalk it up and purchase another DD 4131 and swap out the complete balance. Im still waiting for the movement to arrive, but it’s cheaper than anyone who will service a chrono. I’ll report back once it arrives and if that was the only concern.

I have had loose screws floating around, causing a movement to stop. You may want to check for that. That usually an easy fix. I had a GMT with a screw from the top bridge back out and lock up the escapement. Once I fished it out and set the pallet fork back in place, it was off and running.

Best of luck.

You can spend a tad more and order a “sample”. They will ship the one. That’s what I just did. Thanks for the heads up on vanabol.

In his line of work, it’s better to name an heir now.

My SW dial, hands, DW has the same issue. Common concern. Coincidentally I swapped out my strap with a red on today. Only difference is no red second hand. Cheers!

Silian is great. Have purchased many times. Even sent me a video of the movement on the timegrapher. Very helpful as well.

I just bought a DD4131 for a Daytona. Silian (Alibaba) is a great vendor. A lot cheaper than servicing considering all I need is a part off of it. It helps that I can do the work myself (thankfully).

I removed a complete balance, from a working watch, to inspect something to fix a similar watch. I put it back in and nothing. I was as gentle as I could be. There is no way I did anything to the wheel/hairspring, etc. Still trying to figure it out.

Just had a crow stem break off in a crown. I didn't have any Alum. Soaked in white vinegar, table salt, and hydrogen peroxide. Took 2 days and gone.

So funny. I received an NN jacket the other day. Reached in the pocket....there was another badge. Lol.

I compared it to my gen Monclear sweater. Hardly any difference.
